Anonymous #OpIsrael is angry about Israel censoring the internet!

At the end of the day, whilst we're all sat around our computers arguing debating and acting like we have all the answers while not actually doing
anything, Anonymous have acted. They have done something no matter how "small" or "pointless" in some people's opinions, they have got off their
arses and actually made a stand. From little acorns and all that

For too long we have all been dumbed down to the point of idiocy. We accept what the media tell us without question. We have been brainwashed for
years into believing whatever we are told and to keep our opinions to ourselves. We have been told so many times that the press and television are
unbiased truthful and so much more trustworthy in the West than those horrible tinpot countries and that we can truly believe what is reported. Some
now know this is a total lie, some on the other hand don't.

Free speech is slowly becoming an illusion like democracy. Who was it who were the political activists 20yrs ago? The students. Now students are
hamstrung with debt and worthless degrees chasing too few jobs, and are rarely politically aware let alone active.

Everything happens for a reason....and no matter how much we assume/presume we are not privy to it

More than 44 million hacking attempts have been made on Israeli government websites since Israel began its air raids on the Gaza Strip almost a
week ago.

The figures, released by the Israeli government, indicated that attempts on defence-related sites had been the highest, while 10 million attempts had
been made on the site of Israel's president, seven million on the country's foreign ministry and three million on the site of the prime minister.

Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said More than 44 million hacking attempts have been made on Israeli government websites since Israel began
its air raids on the Gaza Strip almost a week ago. The figures, released by the Israeli government, indicated that attempts on defence-related sites
had been the highest, while 10 million attempts had been made on the site of Israel's president, seven million on the country's foreign ministry and
three million on the site of the prime minister. Israeli Finance Minister Yuval Steinitz said just one hacking attempt was successful on a site he
did not want to name, but it was up and running after 10 minutes of downtime on a site he did not want to name, but it was up and running after 10
minutes of downtime.

Propeganda lie bolded. You can check the pages even posted days ago here to see they are still down and out. Or check out the anonymous twitter feed
for minute by minute updates.

They have been active for years. The internet is fine. The worst they have done (if you can even call it worst) is organize worldwide protests against
the cult of scientology and take down their cult adverts, restore democracy to Egypt over Mubaraks regime when he shut the internet down, helped the
Taiwanese people overpower their corrupt government through an open access internet for all there, attacked privately organized corrupt corporations
thus causing stress to a privately protected corporation.

Now they are targeting a government and military that have been in violation of international law for decades to bring more facts and freedom to the
public arena, by helping the civilians access free internet and ways to further circumvent to not too unlikely possibility of Israel completely
shutting down the internet in Israel and Palestine.

It's not a case involving theft of identity, harm to individuals, fraud or stealing; it's the equivalent of demonstrating in street corner because of
a war. It's just a different vehicle.

Flooding websites and causing stress to protected corporations is not really breaking any laws.

A lawyer explains how these cases end up in court. They are rarely, if ever, prosecuted for
anything. (the whole documentary is v entertaining too)

Annoyingly Israel are getting more desperate with the international media, as they are tending not to buy into their propaganda as much anymore. So
Israel have actively started targeting media buildings since yesterday.

Earlier on Thursday, BBC Arabic journalist based in Gaza Jihad Misharawi lost his infant son and sister-in-law after shrapnel hit their house.

Journalists from different agencys run after an Israeli air strike on an office of Hamas television channel Al-Aqsa in Gaza City

Among the journalists affected was the crew from RT’s Arabic-language sister channel Rusiya Al-Yaum. Fortunately for them, they had left the Shawa
building about an hour before the Israeli planes delivered the strike. RT’s office was damaged, so the crew will move to a less-affected floor of
the center.

Several other media organizations occupying apartment buildings are now being evacuated, filmmaker Harry Fear, who is currently in Gaza, told RT.

Among the media outlets the center hosted are Britain’s Sky News, Italian RAI, German ARD, Kuwait-TV and others.

What is wrong with the IDF?!

Their influence over bias and propaganda in Israeli news is equally as bad.

To give anonymous's actions some context here are some pictures of dead or dying children (uploaded by New_Here) from the last few days. I think it
is important to see them, but please don't click if you are likely to find them too distressing.

Lolz.

Anonymous is not 4chan. 4chan is just what happens when people from every culture are allowed to do what they want on a forum with no rules. They
decide whats too far themselves. The idea is to make people see something they can't un-see.

Anon might have started there with that exact name, but it's now a worldwide phenomenon not restricted to 4chan.

get a twitter account?

the best part of our exchange is you're so brainwashed and blind to true terror and destruction of liberty that there is no reasoning with you. I'm
not going to point-by-point debate with you: I've seen this movie and you're going to just dig your hole deeper by the minute. It's a waste of time.

On 15/11/2012 some anti-war organizations held anti-war demonstration in Tel Aviv against the latest military action in Gaza. this is some footage
from the counter demonstration. The man giving a speech in this video is Michael Ben Ari, an Israeli Knesset member. apparently this is not some
extreme minority but the consensus of the vast majority of the Israeli public.

I'm hesitant to take sides as it too easy to end up blaming one side and not the other, but when one side has killed over 20x the number the other
side has in the last few years it makes you wonder which side are more the terrorists.
